To Panigale or not to Panigale....

So I took the test ride. Being already in lurve with my 998R, I find I take test rides and then get back on the 998 and feel that the bike tested doesn't come close .

Oh dear, after riding the Panigale I find myself obsessing over how beautiful (in the eye of the beholder I know), how fantastic the engine is, what great handling etc... Worse the dealer gave me one of those hardback book brochures which now is my preferred bedtime reading.

Problem is, I'm not going to sell the R and I am shortly about to be overcome by the impulse to order the Panigale (affordability/recession/ blah bah).

Not only that, but in my mind's eye it already has a set of termis and carbon flummery.

I am consulting my life coach, psychiatrist, marriage counsellor.....

commiserations/encouragement invited.
